    Winter Tarp build

    The time has come for a Winter Tarp! Ive got 9 yards of xenon wide from Dutch. I'd like to make a Tarp with a 12.5 ridgeline and closeable doors. I want to use a grosgrain ridgeline but I'm having Trouble findings instructions on how to accomplish it. I've read a bunch of threads about its weight and all that nonesense but I can't seem to find anything on how it's done.

    If y'all could share some wisdom I'd be greatfull.

    TIA

    I don't think there is a better step by step tutorial than this. You can adjust the sizes but follow the steps in order.

    Thanks for the replies! JF the video was a huge help with the seam.

    Did I miss it or did you go over a recommended stitch length ? I did some practice runs on scrap at 4mm but I think that's too long

    3 is good on the stitch length, but play with it.
